News of a Water Element Heavenly Seed / Six Months; Cataclysmic Flood; True Dream
The advancement speed of the eight major Magic System has been too fast recently. You should know that the Super Rank magic of Water Element and Mind Element has not yet been fully mastered.
Worried about his unstable foundation, he planned to find a safe place to devote himself to seclusion and cultivation for a period of time to consolidate his power.
Click, click!
As Lu Jun pondered, the "Water Buddha Beads" underwent a strange change. The grayish-white bone on its surface crackled and peeled off layer by layer, as if shedding its old shell and evolving into a new life, or as if countless seals were being broken.
Then the Water Buddha Beads completed their transformation, revealing a crystal-clear surface.
Splash!
The new pearl was born from the remains of the Water Buddha Beads, rising slowly and calming the raging waves of the great swamp. It also bestowed upon the rosy power of Water Element, nourishing the forty-nine stars at the core of the starry sea, which then ascended to higher levels.
[Level 5 Storm Wave]! [Town River Pearl]!
Lu Jun learned a great deal of information from the newly formed Water Element Beads, and his expression turned to shock.
At this moment, the Water Repelling Pearl and the Town River Pearl resonated strongly, swirling and intertwining within the Northern Darkness Star Sea. Their surfaces shone with a dark, mysterious luster, and their essential auras were exactly the same.
"I see..."
He realized that the so-called Water Buddha Beads were the appearance of a special magical artifact formed after Wu Ku refined the Town River Pearl, and not the true appearance of the Town River Pearl.
Each Water Element mage obtains different effects from refining the [Town River Pearl], and the appearance of the pearl also varies. Ordinary people cannot activate the core power of the Town River Pearl.
Does this look familiar?
The [Water Repelling Pearl] that Dean Xiao bestowed upon him in the past was just like that. He had unearthed it from an Ancient Ruins and used it to fight against powerful enemies when he was young. However, it lost its effectiveness after he advanced to a forbidden spell, so it was given to him.
Looking at the state of their mutual resonance, it is clear that they are treasures from the same root.
Now that Lu Jun has collected the Water Repelling Pearl and the Town River Pearl, he has uncovered most of the secrets.
A complete set of treasures consists of three Water Element Beads: the Water Repelling Pearl, the Town River Pearl, and finally, the Overturning Sea Pearl!
The Three Beads can be perfectly integrated into the body of Water Element mage, solidifying into a top-tier Water Element technique. It is said to originate from an ancient innate spiritual object, nurtured by the world.
The Town River Pearl's effect is simple, similar to the Water Repelling Pearl, and it also has three attribute effects, the first two of which are the same as those of the Water Repelling Pearl.
First, it amplifies the base power of Water Element by 1.5 times. Second, it can store an additional amount of Water Element magical energy, the capacity of which is linked to cultivation level; at Super Rank, it can store boundless magical energy like a starry sea.
The key is that the effects of the [Town River Pearl] and the [Water Repelling Pearl] can be stacked.
Right now, Lu Jun's Water Element is terrifying beyond measure. With a base power boost of 3 times and the Northern Darkness Heavy Water multiplied by 6 times, he can deal 18 times the magic damage, far exceeding that of Heavenly Seed. And his three times the magic energy reserve is inexhaustible.
The latter is slightly better; with strong talent and powerful magical artifacts, success is entirely possible.
The former can probably only be achieved with the combination of [Divine Seal Praise] and [Great Heavenly Seed].
Unfortunately, Lu Jun remembered that Mo Fan, who was the most promising, never obtained Heavenly Seed in the Lightning Element even after becoming the Evil Saint King. He stopped at the 12x enhancement level, and his 24x Super Rank magic never appeared. It is unknown whether he could touch the power of forbidden spells.
"Is this the first time in history that a fully-trained, Super Rank character has directly confronted a forbidden spell? Water Element with a full three-piece set has this potential, and the same goes for Metal Element with seven layers of Sword Sacrifice."
Lu Jun was excited. Logically speaking, the gap between forbidden spells was too large. To reach the Super Rank and fully cultivate a forbidden spell, one needed to possess Heavenly Seed to transform into a Half Forbidden Curse- forbidden spell. Advancing from Half Forbidden Curse to a forbidden spell was another astonishing leap. It was impossible for someone at the Super Rank to cheat.
His Water Element and Metal Element are both unusual.
He calmed himself down and checked the final effect of the Town River Pearl.
If the key word of [Water Repelling Pearl] is "avoidance," it enhances water elemental resistance and ignores Water Element magic spells of the same or lower level.
The word "[Water-Suppressing Pearl]" means "suppress," indicating that it suppresses rivers and lakes, possessing power close to the rules of the [Water Element Forbidden Zone]. Within the reach of one's mental intention, it seals off all water elements, and its upper limit is linked to one's cultivation level.
"That's interesting."
Lu Jun suddenly remembered the Sea Demon Empire that he was about to invade within two years. He wanted to devour the Deep Sea Undead [Queen of the Royal Gauze Skeleton], which meant he was destined to face the ruler of the Pacific Ocean [Cold Moon Eye Demon God].
The Demon God wields two divine eyes, [Tide] and [Oceans], both of which are top-tier powerhouses capable of stirring up trouble.
His Town River Pearl might be helpful in fighting enemies, provided, of course, that his cultivation level reaches at least the level of forbidden spells.
The upheaval within the Water Element Star Sea is not yet over; the Town River Pearl trembles violently, about to release its final wave of energy.
Lu Jun focused his mental energy on the Town River Pearl, filled with anticipation, wondering if he could successfully obtain even a portion of the Call Wind Summon Rain talent.
Buzzing! Mysterious water droplets swirled, and mysterious ripples fell.
In an instant, Lu Jun's body underwent a dramatic change. Vast amounts of water vapor overflowed, clouds and mist swirled, and thick white fog instantly engulfed an area of hundreds of miles. The celestial phenomena in the sky changed, with large amounts of dark clouds gathering and thunder rumbling.
The next moment, a torrential downpour began.
The people of the city throughout Peru found it strange, but they didn't think about it too much; they just went about their business and complained a few times.
"Oh dear, the weather forecast said it would be sunny and clear today, so why is it raining?"
"This is too sudden! This downpour is comparable to a typhoon, why was there no warning at all?"
At this moment, Lu Jun's senses were wondrous, and his divine sense expanded infinitely. Using water vapor as a medium, he merged into the rain, as if the clouds and rain suddenly ceased in an instant.
"Water Element Calamity Talent [Call Wind Summon Rain]!"
Lu Jun slowly spoke, and as he withdrew this immense power, the torrential rain that had enveloped the country of Peru stopped abruptly.
The people were discussing it. "Huh? This rain is strange, it stopped in less than a minute. I even brought an umbrella and raincoat with me."
Ignoring the commotion outside, he was overjoyed. Sensing the Water Element star sea within his body, he found that not a single bit of magical energy had been consumed. Call Wind Summon Rain was like an instinct to him, and the world responded to his every move.
The situation was better than Lu Jun had imagined. He fully accepted the talent of the Water Element Disaster and solidified it completely in the Water Element Star Sea.
Lu Jun carefully pondered the ability of [Call Wind Summon Rain]. Rainfall like Wu Ku's was just the most basic. As the ruler of a country, he could subtly harmonize the Water Cycle of heaven and earth, ensuring favorable weather in nature.
It can be described as an auspicious sign of birth.
Chapter 478 News of the Water Element Heavenly Seed
The more Lu Jun comprehended the [Call Wind Summon Rain], the more terrifying he felt. Ordinary rainfall was fine, but if it were mixed with certain exotic waters, it could unleash a cataclysmic disaster.
For example, he can incorporate the Northern Darkness Heavy Water into heavy rain.
Every drop of rain possesses terrifying corrosive power, solidifying and becoming as heavy as steel. It can also continuously accumulate into Tide, growing heavier and heavier until it completely transforms a country's territory into a desolate ocean wasteland.
"Compared to the limited scope of the Calamity Talent of death and life, the Water Element Calamity Talent, when taken to its extreme, is practically nature's revenge, capable of overturning the world."
Lu Jun's gaze was deep, as if he were deep in thought. It was best not to use such world-destroying power lightly.
Splash!
As he completely refined the Town River Pearl and the Calamity Talent, the Water Element Star Sea gradually calmed down, and the Supernatural Power Northern Darkness Qi Sea was also fully upgraded, with the dark sun rising slowly from his abdomen.
Nine drops of concentrated Northern Darkness Heavy Water, baptized by both, continuously split, ten drops... eleven drops... twelve drops... increasing visibly.
Soon, above the vast black ocean, thirty-six mysterious water droplets rose and fell, their surfaces becoming increasingly crystal clear, and the water vapor they contained becoming increasingly abundant and vast, each drop equivalent to an entire ocean.
Upon seeing this, Lu Jun chuckled and said, "This is quite an unexpected delight."
He didn't care much; the Town River Pearl and the Call Wind Summon Rain were the key. Things like increasing his Water Element Cultivation, enhancing his Supernatural Power, and reaching level five of the mid-level Water Element Intermediate Magic, Storm Wave, were just minor details.
The latter reminded Lu Jun that, after observing the eight major magic systems, he thought to himself, "I've already leveled all the beginner-level magic systems to level four or five; it's time to put the Intermediate Level systems to level four or five as well."
At this point, given Lu Jun's cultivation level and the enemies he faces, ordinary low- to Intermediate Magic is not very effective in killing.
However, if you have the resources to improve, you can also unlock it. Firstly, it can increase magical power, and secondly, some magical effects are amazing, and you never know when you might need to use them.
For example, the True Name Precognition at the Primary level five the Mindset and the Thousand Mile Soul Lock at the Primary level five the Curseset, when combined, are unpredictable and can be used all the way into the future, allowing one to foresee any danger.
The Primary level five of the Time-Space Element's Phasing, the Primary level five of the Dimensional System's conferment, and so on, also have endless wonderful uses.
Not to mention Intermediate Level and high-level magic, which is most frequently used in protracted War of Attrition and the extermination of Demon Beast.
Lu Jun had already decided that he would level up all his basic Intermediate Magic to level 5, and all his advanced magic to level 4, in order to lay a solid foundation.
There's no need to go any higher; it's not worth it. So much spiritual energy could be used elsewhere, such as for Death Element.
Coincidentally, Lu Jun had not used up General Essence Soul he obtained from slaughtering the Scorpion Snake Clan in Africa inside the White Tiger Pendant, plus the vast essence in the abdomen of the [Tall-legged Spider].
Aside from the Death and Life elements that have undergone Super Rank awakening, it's likely that the other six elements—Metal, Water, Curse, Mind, Time and Space, and Summoning—can also achieve this goal.
"It is indeed time to calmly examine my cultivation level."
Lu Jun thought to himself that there was another big problem: the magical effects he had mastered were too complex. Although he had memorized every move and could use them at will in battle, he could not integrate them into a unified whole.
"The Fusion Magic is urgently needed."
He longed for the day when he could combine the Supernatural Power of the Profound Eye, the Imagination Pupil, and the Northern Darkness Sea into one, releasing the three Super Rank magics together, and its power would increase several times over.
At that time, Lu Jun will no longer need to use curses to ambush and kill the Great Monarch Level Demon Beast; he can kill them all by himself.
He stopped his seclusion after absorbing Wu Ku's essence, and before leaving, he even tried to explore the ruins in the Great Gobi Desert.
Lu Jun remembered that the [Sacred Eye of Time and Space] was inside, attempting to give the Time-Space Element an opportunity to advance to Super Rank.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at the Space-Time Town, he found nothing. The Eye of Time and Space was deliberately hidden, and he couldn't find it.
"Sigh, as expected, one must at least reach the level of a forbidden spell of the Time-Space Element to be qualified to control the Sacred Eye of Time and Space."
Lu Jun smiled wryly at this, "Isn't this a vicious cycle? It seems we'll have to find other Super Rank resources in the Time-Space Element."
Having achieved his goal in Peru, Lu Jun had no interest in staying, and the three prepared to leave South America.
However, Shaga suddenly contacted him and delivered a bombshell message over the phone.
"What?! You have news about Water Element Heavenly Seed?!"
Lu Jun was shocked and had to admit that he was tempted. With the current Water Element's power increased eighteenfold, plus the four additional effects and the talent to Call Wind Summon Rain and rain, it was no different from Heavenly Seed in the eyes of outsiders.
But he knew this was just the beginning. Once the Devouring Seed was upgraded to the Heavenly Seed, with the enhancements from the Water Repelling Pearl and the Town River Pearl, the Water Element would have about thirty times the power. This was terrifying, practically inhuman.
On the phone, Shaga said in a calm, emotionless tone, "That's right, this is our Brown Group's way of expressing our sincerity in apologizing."
"However, I must remind you that place is very dangerous. Do not go to investigate unless you have reached the Super Rank of cultivation."
Lu Jun nodded in agreement. Heavenly Seed are generally born only in extreme Elemental Holy Land, regions that are often inhabited by powerful Demon Beast.
Immediately, he received encrypted intelligence and learned the location of the Water Element Heavenly Seed.
"The Mariana Trench?! Located in the Pacific Ocean, the deepest trench in the world?! Legend has it that it leads to the underworld."
Lu Jun's expression shifted between light and dark. This place was located north of Australia and east of the Philippines.
It is said that some Demon Beast tribes still live in the shallow trenches, while even the Sea Demon Empire dares not venture deep into the depths.
Ring!
Suddenly, a melodious murmur rang out from Lu Jun's soul, a summoning call from the Mermaid maiden within the Summoning Space.
He listened intently, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
According to the Mermaid maiden, the Mariana Trench is the ancestral home of her race. According to ancient Chinese records about merfolk, they seem to have lived in this area.
Unfortunately, with the constant trampling of the Sea Demon Empire, the Water Elemental Spirit Lord of the Sub-Emperor was forced to lead his people to migrate.
The Mermaid maiden looked somewhat worried. She had lost contact with her mother since the Nationalist government era and was unsure of the current situation of the Water Elemental Spirit.
Lu Jun sensed his Contract Beast's feelings and reassured it, "Don't worry, we'll go explore it in a while."
Now that he has transformed into a dragon, possessing a divine soul and Armor Robe, he is qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Sea Demon Empire and the Water Elemental Spirit Clan.
Of course, he needed to make thorough preparations beforehand, and first raise his cultivation level to the bottleneck stage.
It must be said that Lu Jun was quite satisfied with the Brown Group's sincerity and sensed the Brown Group leader's eagerness to cooperate; it wasn't impossible...
He stroked his chin, saying that Nan Zhuo and the others had indeed angered him. He had originally planned to replace the Inca Empire by selecting a few South Americans with high talent to pass on the teachings, so that the tradition could continue.
But then this happened, so I guess I'll just let it go.
Lu Jun isn't a masochist, why bother trying to win him over?
We'll see if the Brown Legion cooperates later.
Chapter 479 Half a Year, Cataclysmic Water Roar, True Dreamscape
Lu Jun pressed for details about the source of information regarding Shaga's Heavenly Seed.
Unexpectedly, the other party's answer was vague, stating that the credibility was very high and that there was no need to worry, but later they had no choice but to reveal the words "Holy City".
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun understood and stopped probing. The intelligence came from the Holy City, and as a potential Archangel Commander, Shaga would certainly not want to be exposed, hence her evasive answers.
As the ruling power of humanity in this era, the Holy City naturally establishes a vast intelligence network to coordinate the resources of the entire human society.
They might have sent people to investigate the Mariana Trench, so it wouldn't be surprising if they found information about various Heavenly Seed.
